The configuration is chassis-based, so it applies to all logical switches (domains) on the switch and
replicates itself on a standby CP, if one is present. It is saved in a configuration upload, and so it can be
applied to other switches in a configuration download. You should configure at least two RADIUS
servers so that if one fails, the other will assume service.
You can configure the RADIUS service even if it is disabled. You can configure up to five RADIUS
servers. You must be logged in as admin or SwitchAdmin to configure the RADIUS service.
